While you are clearly concerned, it’s very unlikely. If the bureaucracy there was really that good at catching stuff like this, they wouldn’t be so incompetent at allowing this whole situation in the first place. also I doubt anyone really cares enough. It’s not like intel is a family business or even a closely held company with someone taking anything personally.

Well if the bureaucracy catches him then I guess it is not that incompetent after all. Anyway if I was a business leader there is no way that I would want to renew this kind of contractor. His job is to do contract engineering not complain about what he thinks are organisational failures in a public forum. This kind of complainer is typically entitled and does not have a good work ethic or work output. If he thinks Intel is such a bad organisation then he should seek work elsewhere. These are the same kind of people who want to "work" full time from home for 4 hours a day.

You get what you pay for. Working long hours is orthogonal to working effectively. Modern capitalists don’t resort to moralizing work style like that.

Also, while it is true that I did sign an NDA, it listed very specific things that I'm not allowed to disclose, and internal policies and procedures were not on the list.
